Saving the phenomena’ and saving the phenomena
Occasion-Sensitivity - Charles Travis
This is a book of essays in philosophy of language dating from 1984 to 2006. They treat some familiar philosophical issues, and painstakingly develop objections to fundamental assumptions of traditional logically orientated analytical philosophy (LOAP). I have space for two examples, Travis' approach to a kind of sceptical argument widely discussed around the middle of the twentieth century, and his objections to LOAP approaches to natural‐langua…
Noise in the World
This essay uses Györgi Buzsáki's use of EEG data to draw conclusions about brain function as an example to show that investigators sometimes draw conclusions from noisy data by analyzing the noise rather than by extracting a signal from it. The example makes vivid some important differences between McAllister's, Woodward's, and my ideas about how data are interpreted
The New Mechanical Philosophy
The Hodgkin-Huxley Equations and the Concrete Model
I claim that the Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) current equations owe a great deal of their importance to their role in bringing results from experiments on squid giant action preparations to bear on the study of the action potential in other neurons in other in vitro and in vivo environments. I consider ideas from Weber and Craver about the role of Coulomb's and other fundamental equations in explaining the action potential and in HH's development of their…
Causally productive activities
Regularities and causality; generalizations and causal explanations
Epistemological Custard Pies from Functional Brain Imaging
This paper discusses features of an epistemically valuable form of evidence that raise troubles for received and new epistemological treatments of experimental evidence
Observations, Theories and the Evolution of the Human Spirit
Standard philosophical discussions of theory-ladeness assume that observational evidence consists of perceptual outputs (or reports of such outputs) that are sentential or propositional in structure. Theory-ladeness is conceptualized as having to do with logical or semantical relationships between such outputs or reports and background theories held by observers. Using the recent debate between Fodor and Churchland as a point of departure, we pro…
